ADELAIDE 36ers could lose import Gary Ervin for Tuesday’s do-or-die third game against the Melbourne Tigers, who levelled their semi-final series with a come-from-behind win at Hisense Arena yesterday.

Ervin is expected to front the NBL Tribunal today after an unsavoury incident late in the game, in which he appeared to knee Tigers star Chris Goulding.

A masterclass performance from Goulding — who shot 37 points — helped the Tigers to a 98-87 win and force a deciding game in Adelaide Tuesday night.

Ervin — who had previously complained that Melboune’s players threw “cheap shots” — left Goulding crumpled on the floor after appearing to knee him in the groin behind the play.
